This chair has enabled my mom to travel with us and travel she has. It's so easy to collapse or set up that we never hesitate to take it and her with us. Unfortunatley the foot rests come off too easily and do so when it's not convenient (putting into trunk). Can't trust them with the airlines so we have to remove them and carry on with us. Need to have a cotter pin assembly to secure them yet allow quick removal as necessary. I'm working on designing just such a thing as we will be buying a 2nd chair for my husband.

We rented a larger chair with big wheels which allows hand propulsion, but for most uses I like this smaller chair just as much. I can propel it with one foot around home, and it's relatively easy for my small wife to load it into the car. I was concerned it wouldn't be wide enough, but I fit it fine and find it comfortable. Sturdy construction, performs well.
